[RFC PATCH 2/2] powerpc/xive: add XIVE exploitation mode to CAS

On POWER9, the Client Architecture Support (CAS) negotiation process
determines whether the guest operates in XIVE Legacy compatibility or
in XIVE exploitation mode.

Now that we have initial guest support for the XIVE interrupt
controller, let's inform the hypervisor what we can do.
